The Greatest Architect

“Howl!”

“… huh? ”

Lloyd opens his eyes wide.

On the palm of my hand, I felt a small, fizzy ridge twitching.

A round head and a gleaming glare are looking up at you.

“Are you drinking water? ”

“Howl!”

“Are you really a hippo? ”

“Hippo!”

The pink baby hippopotamus nods.

Does this make me happy to be in the world?

Baby Hama was smiling so happily.

It looked pretty cute.

‘But this is not the only way to judge a hallucination. ’

Cuteness is just the first impression of fantasy.

The real appearance is revealed when the red sunflower is eaten.

That is the moment when the illusions show their true worth.

Lloyd asked Baby Hippo with that expectation.

“Yes, nice to meet you. Your name is Haman, right? ”

“Hippo or Hippo? ”

“How did you know? Am I a genius?”

“Howl!”

“I'm not a genius. Just plain.”

“Hammam! Hammam! ”

“I swear. I just guessed when I heard you cry. Anyway, it's good to see you, Hamann. ”

“Howl!”

A new kind of illusion was always welcome.

The hallucinations I was watching next to really welcomed Hoang Mai.

“Podong!”

“Droplets!”

“Howl!”

The name of the three hallucinations (?) is over.

Lloyd asked.

“Hamann? Do you have a manual, too? ”

“Hama? Hama! ”

“Can you show me? ”

“Howl!”

Haman opens his mouth.

There was also a folded note in it.

Lloyd takes the note and carefully unfolds it.

[Lower User Manual]

[The Hippo is a lovely baby hippocampus. Take care of her with love and attention.]

[The Howl dedicates absolute trust and loyalty to you, the Summoner. Hallucinations are lifelong pets and another family member. Please don't indulge me.]

[Unlike other hallucinogens, the hammock does not eat sunflower seeds.]

[Unlike other hallucinogens, the Lower Mane does not possess the ability to transform into a larger body.]

< List of skills owned by the bottom >

[Shot (Lv. 1)]

Huh?

Lloyd tilts his head.

One shot? That's the only skill you have? ’

I was a little curious.

On the other hand, I was also curious.

Plus, you don't eat sunflowers, you don't have the ability to massify? ’

I felt that it was a little different from the Podong or bubble that I had picked so far.

I felt a little strong and ominous.

Lloyd struggled to suppress the unpleasantness of the fluttering pulling bombs and asked Hoang.

“Hey, Hamann? ”

“Howl?”

“Well, I'm really sorry to ask, um, do you hate sunflowers? ”

“Hammam? Hammam! ”

The hammer nods forcefully.

“Hippo! Hippo! Howl!”

“... Do you hate it that much? ”

“Howl!”

It was resolved.

Lloyd asked again.

“So you're not going to let Podong grow up like a big sister? ”

“Howl!”

“You don't have to? ”

“Hippo!”

“Is this because you're cute? ”

“Howl!”

“ ……. ”

Oh, shit.

‘We're screwed.'

It seemed that this baby hippocampus had a hallucinogenic ability that only had a "cute" principle.

The taste got a little bitter.

‘Tsk, yeah. I've been lucky the whole time. ’

If you think about it, it was a random selection of phantom species.

No one knows what kind of hallucinations will emerge.

It's amazing. It's terrible.

But until now?

‘I was fortunate to be in a row at the time of Podong and at the time of the bubble. At the most necessary moment, the most desirable children were picked out. So, um, I hope so again. ’

No, at least it would have been a hallucination that could have been accomplished separately and massively.

It was his basic plan to try to drain Marez's marsh to a massive body of water.

‘But how can a child who is impossible to magnify be elected? ’

Is this a bad draw?

I was a little disappointed.

But Lloyd didn't tease it out.

After all, it was a hallucinogen of his own choosing.

If I did, I would have to pay and take responsibility.

‘And even if it's not useful right now, it can be different later. ’

Find a new way to use it.

The hallucinations themselves grow.

Things can change at any time.

With that in mind, Lloyd warmly embraced the bottom.

“What about Hamann? Would you like to come into my arms? ”

“Hammam?”

“Let's move in with Podong. That's right. Good boy. ”

“Howl!”

I took the hammer into my arms.

He checked the remaining RP.

[Current RP: 831]

‘Good. We still have plenty. ’

It was an RP that collected a lot.

Even after pulling the hammer, there were still over 800 left.

At this rate, we should be able to run three or four more random draws.

Lloyd opens a random draw window.

[Random Picking of Phantoms]

[Random Draw Cost (4th) 150 RP]

‘As expected, the cost has risen. ’

But it was the right thing to do.

The resolved Lloyd chose to run the draw.

[Do you want to run a random draw?]

[YES/NO]

‘YES’.

But it was that moment.

Supportive!

Sparks appear in the starry air.

At the same time, the fingers that had chosen 'YES’ were prickly.

“What?”

Reflexively shrugging at the sting.

Suddenly, an unexpected message came to my mind.

[Random Phantom Drawing can only be done once a day.]

[Next Random Draw Available Time: 23h 47m 16s]

"Phew."

I can't believe there was such a limit.

In an unexpected tackle, Lloyd has had a taste for bitterness.

‘Hmph. I guess we're all clear today. ’

I tried to draw four or five hallucinations in a row with ambition.

Starting tomorrow, I was about to start construction on Marez Marsh.

At the same time, the plan had to change.

‘The hallucinations drawn were unsatisfactory and could not be drawn further. So the construction starts tomorrow and then it skips over. ’

I wish the Lower Mane could've gotten bigger.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt sad and sad.

I had no choice, of course.

‘Well, when I think about it in the field, it's not a strange experience. ’

It reminded me of a difficult time living in Korea.

I was in a hurry to get there the most.

It was because they could receive cash that day.

So I had a little vision at first.

‘I thought if I worked less than a day every day, I'd get a lot of cash for a month. ’

I really thought it was possible.

I was also confident in my physical strength.

The motivation was naturally overwhelming.

But the reality was a little different.

‘I couldn't work every day like I thought. Apart from my will. ’

When the weather was bad, such as when it rained, there were many places to rest.

It wasn't just that.

In the early days, I went to the labor station at dawn, but sometimes I hit the ball because I didn't get caught.

Even when I was constantly admitted by going in and out of the field.

Even though there was a fixed team.

On a day when the shooter was resting inevitably, he himself had to rest unevenly.

After all, he was only a demonstration, that is, an assistant to the shooter.

‘There were many days when I couldn't work unexpectedly. If you work all month, what do you get? It was a fantasy. ’

But you shouldn't be disappointed.

It was also important to be well on the day of being forced to rest.

What if we do something about the void?

The people you received the day before will melt away.

I make a day's work.

The next day I took a break and put it on.

It really means earning a living every day.

I actually saw quite a lot of people who were doing that at Lloyd's.

‘So I just spent the rest of my life studying. Even if I took a leave of absence to save money. ’

A full-time job someday.

I dreamed of a better life.

It really was a memory in Korea that was difficult to live every day.

‘Compared to then, it's no big deal now. ’

Just that things don't work out.

Everything doesn't go the way you want it to.

You don't have to be very disappointed.

What if we get stuck?

Do what you can now.

For example, it would be enough to check if the Lower Man has only one skill.

Lloyd looked into his heart.

“Hamanna?”

“Hamaan?”

I guess I was dozing off because my body was warm.

Haman looks up at this side with his black eyes that have become a little thinner.

I was born with a happy smile on Lloyd's lips.

“Haman, can I ask you about your skills? ”

“Howl?”

“You know your skills, one shot. ”

“Howl.”

“What kind of skill is that? ”

“Hippo? Hop. Howl!”

“Drinking water? ”

“Howl!”

The hammer nods.

Lloyd asked.

“Well, I could use a drink of water. Do you like drinking water? ”

“Howl!”

“How much do you like it? ”

“Hammam! Hammam! ”

“Less than Xander?”

“Howl!”

He nodded again.

You look up at this side and see the short arm stretched out.

“Hippo. Hippo. Hippo! Hippo. ”

“Hmm, you can drink as much as your arms are open now?

“Howl!”

As far as arms are open.

I smiled.

‘I shouldn't expect too much. ’

The size of the hammer is less than the size of a fist.

Opening my arms as far as I could, it was only one inch.

And you can only drink that much.

Even if I drank the water vigorously, it seemed like a small water balloon.

‘No, but just in case. ’

Lloyd shakes his head.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Let's check with our own eyes first.

‘Maybe you inflate it bigger than you think. About the size of a baggage ball. Or bigger. ’

Once I had done that, I thought, where was it?

With that in mind, Lloyd took a step.

I left the ballpark in the middle of the night.

“What about Hamann? ”

“Howl?”

“There are a lot of places with water, would you like to come for a drink with me? ”

“Howl!”

I nodded my head to see if the hammer was excited.

Lloyd walks out of the mansion, patting on his face like that.

You crossed the land under the moonlight.

To a place with plenty of water.

Heading south.

You have reached the northern border of Marez Marsh.

What's wrong?

As soon as he arrived in the marsh, the mosquitoes were ferocious.) Welcome.

Lloyd shakes his hand and chases the mosquitoes away.

And I decided.

‘Phew. I have to fill this marsh quickly. ’

Mosquitoes are the source of all evil.

With the eternal truth carved into his heart, Lloyd put his hand into his chest.

I carefully pulled out the sleeping hammer from my chest.

“Hey, Hamann? ”

“Hamaan?”

“Sorry to wake you up. You said you like drinking water. ”

“Howl!”

The sound of ‘water’ opened his eyes in a sparkling round.

I smiled bitterly.

“Glad to hear it. That's why I'm here. You want to see what's in front of you? ”

“Howl?”

The circle head of the hammer turns.

In front of Haman's eyes, a large marsh was opened.

“Hamaang?”

The mouth of the hammer opened slightly.

I felt a dazzling feeling in my eyes.

It was like the eyes of the person who entered the buffet after starving for about three days.

Lloyd gives a bitter smile and pushes the hammer down.

“I'm glad you like it. I brought him here to drink a lot of water. ”

“Hama! Hama? ”

“Can I drink it all? ”

“Howl!”

“Well, of course you can. ”

“Hippo!”

The hammer jumped in place to see if it was exciting.

Lloyd's bitter smile became darker.

‘I really want you to drink it all. ’

But he didn't want to get his hopes up.

Judging by the size of the hammer, it seemed unlikely.

Realistically, a bucket of water is the limit.

Between this and that.

Suddenly, he was ready to drink water.

“Hammam! Hammam! ”

I shivered and shook my head.

You bend your head in a circle with the recoil.

I put my mouth open to the surface of the swamp.

I started drinking water.

With tremendous vigor.

Shoot!

“… huh? ”

Suddenly, the surface of the marsh went down.

The water that was buzzing in front of my feet became a few steps away.

And the nets are huge in real time!

“Hippo! Hippo! Howl!”

2 meters, 3 meters, 5 meters, and kept swelling like a balloon.

The surface of the marsh sank as much as it swelled. It's gone.

Then the hammock is called Heavier, and he pushes his head to the farther surface.

“Hippo!”

Suwaaaahhhh!

The water in the marsh disappeared in real time.

No, I got sucked into the Howl.

A section suddenly revealed the floor.

Then the hammer raised his head.

I smiled satisfactorily, raising my giant head.

“Haha! Get lost! ”

“ ……. ”

Lloyd looks up at the bottom, feeling astonished.

No, before that, I had to step back for a while so I wouldn't get caught by the Howlers.

A supermassive water balloon about 50 meters in diameter.

That was the first impression I felt looking up at Howl.

“Hey, Hamann? ”

“Hamaan?”

“Are you okay? ”

“Hippo! Hippo! ”

“Are you feeling nauseous or not? ”

“Howl!”

“ ……. ”

I think he's really fine.

Lloyd glances at the land that was once a wetland, or a marsh.

All the water was gone.

There were trellises, tadpoles, and other aquatic creatures buzzing in the water.

Of course, the whole marsh was not completely drained.

Marez Marsh is vast.

The extent to which the hammock drank water was only part of such a vast marsh.

But this was enough.

I don't know where they "took a shot" at a portion of the bog.

‘This is crazy. It's an invitation.’

I thought this one was lame.

It was a big hit. No, it was an invitation.

‘That's enough. We can start construction tomorrow without adding any more random ones. ’

Spreading water in the marshes.

Applying and implementing the crookedness method in that state.

And if you lose it, you can completely drain the water from the bottom of the peat layer and promote consolidation to stabilize the cartilage and turn it into agriculture.

Tomorrow you will be able to take the first step in all of that construction.

Convinced Lloyd clenches his fist.

It was the beginning of the construction of an azimuthal intersection of Marez wetlands.
